If I learned one thing from this thread it's that the original idea of a "gruppo" was more about group pricing, than about a coordinated designed set of parts. So a gruppo could be a mix of parts that as a group are discount priced for less than the sum of their individual prices. Understood this way, all the confusion about what constitutes a "Super Record Gruppo" kinda melts away. Is this more like the original meaning?
